Step 1 of 3
Support during the stream
Viewers send money in the middle of a blitz or an analysis, with a single tap. A sharp move or a beautiful combination gets an instant thank-you from a fan, without pausing the game.
Your link or QR stays visible on the overlay throughout. You put it on the overlay, in the channel description, or in your profile, and it works the same on Twitch, YouTube, or a Chess.com broadcast.
Chess audiences are attentive and loyal. The same people often return to every stream, so small but regular support grows into solid income over time.
3% commission
Donator takes 3% commission, so every contribution stays with you after a 3% commission. A viewer's 40 GEL reaches you as 40 GEL, with nothing held back.
Chess content is often intellectual and non-commercial, without large ad revenue. That is exactly why direct support is critical and every percent skimmed off is felt.
0% means you can tell your audience plainly: all of your support reaches me. That builds trust in a community where honesty is valued.
Any card, great for the diaspora
Georgian or foreign cards both work. Visa, Mastercard, a local or foreign bank, all accepted equally.
Fans anywhere in the world can back you. Chess is a global language, and Georgian players have admirers abroad too. Georgia's chess tradition, going back to Nona Gaprindashvili, is a source of pride for the diaspora.
A diaspora supporter does not need a Georgian card. They pay with their card in Berlin, New York, or Paris, and you receive the money in GEL.
Instant and in GEL
Transfers are instant and paid in GEL to your Georgian bank. You see the money right away, with no exchange math and no waiting.
Donator is Georgia's first and best platform, in official partnership with TBC and Bank of Georgia. That ensures reliability and speed.
Getting paid in GEL is practical: the income is immediately usable to enter a tournament, buy equipment, or simply cover everyday expenses.
Step by step: add a card, receive, withdraw
Step one: create a free account and enter the Georgian bank details where you want the money.
Step two: get your personal link and QR. Add it to your stream overlay, your Chess.com and Lichess profiles, your YouTube description, and your social posts.
Step three: a viewer taps the link, picks an amount, and pays by card. The money lands instantly and is withdrawn automatically in GEL to your Georgian bank.
A real scenario: a blitz evening
Picture a Georgian chess streamer running a blitz evening. They explain openings, analyze games, and answer viewer questions.
One viewer in Kutaisi sends 10 GEL after a slick attack, another in Hamburg the equivalent of 15 euros, both with a single tap. The amount reaches the streamer in GEL, at 3% commission.
By the end of the evening, small contributions together made up a good income. This is the model that lets a Georgian chess creator devote themselves to it full time.
An honest comparison with foreign tools
Donation tools on international chess platforms often cannot pay in GEL, require a foreign account, and take a cut on both payment and withdrawal.
PayPal and similar services are restricted in Georgia, and cashing out in GEL means an extra conversion. Donator sidesteps all of it: a card goes in, GEL comes out, at 3% commission.
Foreign tools are not bad, they are simply not tailored to a Georgian creator and a Georgian bank. A local platform fits your reality better.
DonationAlerts and Streamlabs: chess money transfers and the local option
Many streamers search DonationAlerts or Streamlabs when they want setup or an alternative. For chess money transfers in Georgia, GEL payout is often the real friction.
On Donator the OBS alert shows right away, viewers pay with any card, and money goes to TBC or Bank of Georgia. You can keep the same alert habit and fix payouts locally.
DonationAlerts, Streamlabs, and other tools: what changes in Georgia
Many streamers start with DonationAlerts or Streamlabs, because those are the names people type when they search for an OBS donation alert, a donation page, or an alternative to a foreign tool. StreamElements often shows up in the same shortlist.
In Georgia those products are often built for other markets: foreign wallets, awkward withdrawals, or fees that never land cleanly in GEL. Patreon and PayPal still fit some creator formats, but they do not always replace live stream donations with payout to a Georgian bank.
Donator is built so a viewer can pay with any card, Georgian or foreign, the alert can show in OBS right away, and the money settles in GEL to TBC or Bank of Georgia. If you already used DonationAlerts or Streamlabs, you can keep the same alert habit and fix payouts locally.
